According to the organization, “[Each recommendation] represent(s) the priorities for the betterment of campus safety and reinforce key goals and objectives in mitigating and responding to threats at institutions of higher education.”
The recommendations are divided into three categories: “Emergency Planning and Critical Incident Response,” “Empowering and Resourcing the Campus Public Safety Function” and “Prevention and Education Programs to Address Campus Safety Risks.” According to IACLEA, the propositions are not designed to be all inclusive; rather, they represent best practices that campuses should consider and implement.
